The Knack - Rocket O'Love

A blast from the past (1991).

Personally I really liked The Kanck's album "Serious Fun", it was labelled as a "comeback" album - which it didn't achieve a new found popularity for The Knack - BUT, I found it to be a really nice combination of catchy pop, with some classic late 80s crunchy guitar.

This video for this song - "Rocket of Love", was considered 'suggestive' at the time. In hindsight this would be anything but such no were it released now. All in all I've always found this to be a fun/pop song with that (I cringe to use this term) "hair metal" guitar sound.

Sometimes a good song (to me anyways) is just that - fun, catchy and just enjoyable. I don't think it is necessary for music to always thump me over the head with some "message". I mean - musicians perfom music, that's their chosen "job(s)". If you want to be a musician - perform music, and if you want to champion a cause, do that - but when you try to do both, you lose me.

Same goes for actors - just act, ok? If you want to be "political" - run for office. Just make the choice, for it is wrong to leverage your "fame" to sway your "fans" to follow YOUR views. If you want to be an actor and then become a politician - no problem. But again - do one or the other.

There are too, too many guillable people who almost lust after fame and those who are "famous', and they seem to idolize (worship?) celebrities, and emulate the views of such....
